### Usage

A key component of Flatfile's headless automation workflow is the automapping
functionality provided by our
[Automap Plugin](https://flatfile.com/plugins/plugin-automap/).

Upon uploading a file, after file extraction is complete, the data needs to be
mapped to a destination Workbook. In a non-headless environment a human might do
this manually. But in a headless environment, we'll automate this process.

We'll use Automap to do this for us.

### Install

First, add the plugin to your project.

<Snippet file="guides/automap/block1.mdx" />

### Configure

Next, configure the plugin. Choose an accuracy level, a default target sheet,
and a regex expression to test incoming files.

**accuracy:** either `confident` or `exact` \
**defaultTargetSheet:** the name of the sheet you want to map to \
**matchFilename:** regex that will match on incoming files

<Note>
  Note you may also set `debug` to true for useful error messages in
  development.

### Deploy and watch it work

Add your configured listener to your project and deploy it to Flatfile.
